Vogue V8910 is designed to suit most i gure types. It is very
easy to make and is cut on the cross to give the jacket subtle
curves without the cling. The curved hemline is designed to
lengthen the legs at the sides and give a visual length illusion
to the centre front and centre back. The stand-up collar
lengthens the neck (and can help disguise a dowager’s hump).
The front pleats at the side neck give another length illusion
and plenty of room for an ample bust line. The spandex in the
cotton fabric gives the wearer a slim i t but plenty of comfort
as the fabric will stretch as you move. This jacket is the ideal
travel companion.
Natural i bre fabrics
NOW is the perfect time of year to stockpile your natural
i bre fabrics as they are readily available from July through to
December. You can view these on our website under: Stretch/
Woven (cotton/ spandex) > pants, skirt weight. When the
new page opens, scroll through and double-click the fabric
you like to enlarge the photo. Samples can be posted to
colour match with other fabrics in your stash, but this does
take time and the best prints do sell out very quickly.
The % of the spandex
The higher the percentage of spandex in a fabric will mean
your garment will keep its shape for a considerably longer
amount of time. When purchasing fabric with a spandex/
Lycra® content, make sure it has 5% or more.
Tweaking this jacket to suit your personal colouring
Some fabrics are universal and this jacket is a good example.
If you have a Cool colour palette you can wear a Black, Red or
Pink top under it. For the person with Warm colour palette,
try Lime Green, Yellow or Orange.A fabric with such a dark background will look fantastic
on a person with some darkness in their colouring, eg. dark
eyes, dark hair or skin. Women with white or silver hair can
look just as fabulous, as the black is the opposite to their
hair colouring and they intensify each other. Women with a
lighter, softer colouring would be better in a lighter or softer
printed fabric colour combination as a garment is meant to
match or highlight the individual, not overpower them.Choosing the right colour strength is an area that many
women get wrong. Knowing what will and won’t work is the
route to success in any wardrobe. Here are a few examples:
